Southeast Delorme and County Challenges

Recommended Posts

I was looking at some of the various bookmark lists of Delorme and other challenge caches, and noticed that some of them are not up to date. This got me wondering which southeastern states already had challenges, and which ones still have one needing to be set up. With a little digging on the website, forums, and through Google, I compiled a list of every southeast Delorme and County challenge I could find:

 

Alabama:

Delorme: yes

County: yes

 

Arkansas:

Delorme: yes

County: no

 

Florida:

Delorme: no

County: yes, three: north, south, and final.

 

Georgia:

Delorme: yes

County: no

 

Kentucky:

Delorme: yes

County: yes

 

Louisiana:

Delorme: yes

County (er, parish): no

 

Mississippi:

Delorme: yes

County: yes

 

North Carolina:

Delorme: yes

County: no

 

South Carolina:

Delorme: yes

County: no

 

Tennessee:

Delorme: yes

County: yes

 

Texas:

Delorme: no

County: yes (believe it or not... and people have actually completed it!)

 

It looks like every state has at least one opportunity to satisfy a challenge craving, but some are still missing: Florida and Texas don't have Delorme challenges while Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, North and South Carolina don't have County challenges. Unless, of course, I just couldn't locate them. Are there any I missed?

 

Now, the challenge (ha ha :D ) is for someone to set up each of the missing compilation caches.

I had thought about placing an NC County Challenge but since I own the NC DeLorme Challenge wanted to give other cachers the chance. And I wanted it to be physically located in a different part of the state, rather than both of them being in/near Asheville. But if nobody places one soon...

Same here for South Carolina.

 

BTW-Before I ever heard of a DeLorme Challenge, I went on my own personal county quest.

(easier than NC but harder than RI)

I'm willing to setup a County Challenge for SC, but I've got a few questions.

 

First, I'm new at Geocaching so I don't know if I need to have a certain "stature" here in order to do something like that.

 

Second, I've not cached every county in the state. Would that prevent me from setting up the cache?

 

Third, is there any reason for/against making this a member's only cache?

 

I've actually already started making a map, but I haven't taken it much further than this yet.

 

Thanks!

We are doing GA and SC..... Georgia is already hidden, but is a little too close to another cache recently hidden (that hasn't been published pending our big event next weekend).....

 

Look for the GA County Challenge to be published Monday or so.....

 

And SC in the very near future!!!!

Uhm, I know this might be a little late but HELLO!!!!!

Why would you make this a members only cache?

That's just... rude.

 

I'm a student who likes to travel around the state.

I got my GPS from graduation money, and I am paying my own gas.

I don't have money for the premium membership.

But that's not the only reason.

I do caching for fun, to learn about my state and others.

But seriously, if people have gotten a cache in every county,

do you honestly think they shouldnt be able to log a county cache,

just because they don't pay $30 a year or $3 a month?

Don't worry, it's not PMO. And it is maintained by Salutations (see the second link in the post above yours). tcatkins was only asking for opinions, that's all. Though I do agree with you, I don't prefer PMO caches either (I'll find them; I won't hide them).
